TL;DR: It is shown that incorrect validation of a model may result in the wrong estimation of its performance and suggested how this problem could be circumvented and the distance to model metric could also be used to augment mechanistic QSAR models by estimating their prediction errors.

Benchmarking of Linear and Nonlinear Approaches for Quantitative Structure−Property Relationship Studies of Metal Complexation with Ionophores

Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling, 46(2), 808–819.

By: I. Tetko*, V. Solov'ev*, A. Antonov*, X. Yao*, J. Doucet*, B. Fan*, F. Hoonakker*, D. Fourches* ...

MeSH headings : Algorithms; Europium / chemistry; Ionophores / chemistry; Linear Models; Models, Theoretical; Nonlinear Dynamics; Organometallic Compounds / chemistry; Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship; Silver / chemistry; Software Validation
TL;DR: Individual structure-complexation property models obtained with nonlinear methods demonstrated a significantly better performance than the models built using multilinear regression analysis (MLRA), however, the averaging of several MLRA models based on SMF descriptors provided as good of a prediction as the most efficient nonlinear techniques.

Substructural fragments: an universal language to encode reactions, molecular and supramolecular structures

Journal of Computer-Aided Molecular Design, 19(9-10), 693–703.

By: A. Varnek*, D. Fourches*, F. Hoonakker* & V. Solov’ev*

author keywords: chemical reactions; clustering; condensed graphs of reactions; exchange of information; hydrogen bonds; QSPR; similarity; solubility; substructural fragments
MeSH headings : Computer Simulation; Hydrogen Bonding; Macromolecular Substances; Models, Chemical; Molecular Structure; Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship; Solubility; Thermodynamics; Water
TL;DR: Substructural fragments are proposed as a simple and safe way to encode molecular structures in a matrix containing the occurrence of fragments of a given type and the knowledge retrieved from QSPR modelling can also be stored in that matrix in addition to the information about fragments.
